Remember when we had that ludicrous, all-consuming moral panic about college kids protesting the slaughter in #Gaza and then the often violent suppression of free speech that followed was kind of a minor sidebar story and then everyone just moved on?

Someone appears to have exercised their 2nd amendment rights at the Trump rally. Regardless of the circumstances, this is gonna be very bad.

Gays apparently not welcome in the Nazi bar.

Looks like the left coalition held together and #France dodged a fascist bullet. Some rare good news, although the trend remains troubling.

#FrenchElection

And now the richest wingnut in the world, who owns a huge propaganda outlet, is calling for the death of everyone who opposes a messaging bill that codifies fascist disinformation about voting.

I don’t know how this toothpaste ever gets put back in the tube.

This is 100% about #elonmusk wanting to like Nazi content without getting any pushback.

My dad had good insurance. I donated his $24k wheelchair on Thursday, got this note back from them today and had a really good cry.

“About half of the state’s election officials had quit or resigned since 2020, and several had been replaced by vocal election deniers. Jim Hindle, the new clerk in Storey County, was awaiting a felony trial for allegedly trying to sign over Nevada’s six electoral votes to #Trump in 2020, and now he oversaw election integrity in 2024.”

Obsessing over the polls is pointless. These people are going to pull out all the stops to steal this election. #maga #fascism #Election2024

Trump's been getting away with criming since his birth. He was a millionaire at age 8 thanks to his daddy's tax fraud scheme.

Now he's finally been found guilty on all counts.

Just got a call from the library where I donated 7 boxes of my dad’s books and they asked if I had known that I included a copy of Why We Can’t Wait inscribed to my grandfather by MLK in 1966.

I had not!

This professor, who is Jewish, was suspended for posing a threat to Jewish students, AKA participating in a protest (where he was violently arrested). Now he's in a kind of limbo.

This is what a moral panic looks like. #gazaprotests

I have to get my dad’s house cleaned out, which is gonna cost thousands of dollars. This guy showed up to pitch his services in a truck covered in fuck Joe #Biden and related stickers and it cost him real money. I’m sure it’s not the first time.

That’s your work truck, dude, and you service a county where #Trump got 36% of the vote.

These people are really not smart. #maga

If they continue on this trajectory, Israel is gonna turn itself into another right-wing culture war item and that will not serve them well.

“The tone of this letter is not reflective of the fact that the U.S. is the primary guarantor of Israel’s security. An unaware reader would assume that #Israel is the superpower in this relationship and the U.S. the recipient of aid.”

This is absolutely maddening. #media

Every political reporter and pundit talking about #RFKJr pulling 10-15% in the polls knows (or should know) that that means like 2% in November.

And the lion's share of those votes will come from cranky people who usually vote third party. #media #Election2024

It’s 2024. We’ve been through a Trump presidency. This is not in any way newsworthy.

Israeli defense experts estimate that #Hamas has lost around a third of the 30k fighters it had before the war, just to put how unhinged this is into perspective. #gaza #israel

A couple hundred cops in riot gear using tear gas to clear out 33 peaceful protesters is what a full-blown moral panic looks like. #gazaprotests

This guy is a MAGA chud who made TikToks about how great Russia is for standing up to NATO aggression. Now he’s finding out.
